Destileria La Perseverancia is the historic home of Casa Sauza, one of the old tequila houses that helped turn the town of Tequila into an industry name recognized around the world. The complex sits close to the centre and gives visitors a clear look at the chain that links blue agave fields, cooking, fermentation, distillation, and barrel ageing.
Tours vary by season and package, but the appeal is broader than a tasting room. This is a working piece of Tequila's industrial heritage, and the visit helps explain why the agave landscape around the town is protected as a UNESCO cultural landscape. It pairs naturally with a walk around the main plaza and the other historic distillery buildings in town.
